Tabbouleh

​The bright flavor and herbiness of parsley is too often set aside as a plate garnish.  Tabbouleh is a fresh, lemony recipe that highlights the taste of parsley rather than just the look of it.

  1. I made this salad. I made it exactly as the recipe called for. To be honest it is in my opinion way too much parsley. Maybe instead of so much parsley, cut that amount down and add a different green leafy lettuce. Also maybe my onion was just extra strong, but it was a bit too much onion. I’m going to keep this recipe but tweak it a little bit.

    Thank you. Shelly.
